About Us

P&L smithed is a handmade home and lifestyle accessories brand based in upstate New York, founded in 2020 by a husband and wife team—Priscilla and Luke Smith. They design and create all work inside their home studios.

Collections combine individual creations made by Priscilla and Luke, as well as collaborative pieces that marry their unique styles—feminine and masculine, balanced perfectly. It’s a true "his & hers" approach, where each work is both functional and beautiful, designed to fit seamlessly into modern life while celebrating lasting function and versatile design.

Crafted in harmony with one another, their pieces reflect the deep bond of family and art that shapes everything they do.

our story

Our creative journey began in 2007, drawing side by side in high school art class, and evolved into DIY woodworking projects in 2014. Since then, we’ve ventured into sculptural blacksmithing, metal fabrication, 3D modeling, CNC projects, sewing, jewelry making, ceramics, and oil painting—each new medium a reflection of our ever-growing passion for creation.

As parents of two young children, we embrace the beautiful chaos of daily life, taking it one day at a time. Creativity fuels our spirits, keeps our love alive, and helps support our family, allowing us to live life to the fullest. Every purchase means so much to us; it’s not just a transaction—it’s a deep connection that enables us to continue this journey, balancing our passions and the demands of family.

As our family grew, so did our creative evolution. We no longer try to fit into a single niche but instead celebrate and embrace our many passions and diverse skills. This journey is about growth, change, and the excitement of where life will take us next, and we’re so grateful to have you along for the ride.

Our Mission

We create with passion, balancing the chaos of family life with the joy of making. We put to practice discipline, curiosity and innovation, with an emphasis on minimalism, highlighting the value of having few and simple beautiful things in life.

Embracing versatility over a single niche, we pour our hearts into every piece. Every purchase supports not just our work, but the life we’ve built around it. We’re here to create, to inspire, and to share that passion with others, one handmade piece at a time.

  • We believe in creating the things we need ourselves because it offers opportunities to learn, grow, and be resourceful. It’s not just about making products; it’s about modeling hard work, creativity, and innovation for our children, showing them that with effort and imagination, they can shape the world around them. We center our lives around family, and with every piece we craft, we aim to bring art and joy into the homes of others—pieces that inspire, spark conversations, and celebrate the beauty of handmade craftsmanship.

    We want to create art that’s accessible, affordable, and meaningful—pieces that the average person can appreciate and enjoy, while also making a positive impact on the world around us. At the heart of it all, we’re doing what we love and relishing in the happiness it brings, especially to our family and those who appreciate the value of creativity and thoughtful design. We hope to inspire others, highlight the good in life, and share our passion with the world.

  • At the heart of our creations lies a commitment to exceptional quality and ethical sourcing. We carefully select materials such as wood, metals, ceramics, and fabrics from certified suppliers who uphold ethical practices and support local businesses.

    Our products are designed to be durable, low-maintenance, and versatile, ensuring that each piece can be reused, repurposed, or recycled, minimizing environmental impact.

    We believe in crafting timeless, functional pieces that not only enrich your life but also respect the world around us, creating a legacy of responsible artistry for generations to come.

  • Our creative processes are rooted in the time-honored techniques of traditional blacksmithing, welding, jewelry making, and hand-building ceramics—each method a unique expression of craftsmanship, yet deeply intertwined by a shared commitment to artistry and precision. Blacksmithing and welding bring raw metal to life, where heat and hammer meet to forge strength and beauty, while jewelry making offers the delicate artistry of shaping, polishing, and perfecting intricate details. Hand-building ceramics allows for organic form, where hands shape and mold clay into something both functional and artistic.

    While each technique varies in approach—metal bending, beadwork, and tactile clay molding—they all share a core philosophy: the transformation of raw materials into original works of art, shaped by skill, passion, and the spirit of creation.

    These methods influence and inspire our designs, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect the beauty of imperfection, the power of craftsmanship, and the timeless appeal of handmade art.

    Each piece tells a story of transformation, a journey from raw material to a cherished masterpiece.
